I have this beautiful new blog and what better way to start it with little peek at a beautiful Dubai wedding.

It has been lovely getting to know Laura and Neil and from first meeting them I knew I was going to love being part of their big day. They are both from the United Kingdom, Laura from Derbyshire and Neil from Yorkshire (Ay up!) but they met right here in Dubai at the Rugby Sevens. As Laura lived in Dubai at the time it took 24 months of long distance romance before Neil got a job and joined her in the desert … and the rest they say is history.

Neil left the majority of the preparations to Laura, the theme was contemporary English country garden with a colour scheme of mint, coral, gold, blush and champagne. I have to say she killed it, the flowers were downright beautiful, the bridesmaid dresses gorgeous, the groomsmen looked very dapper and don’t get me started on the venue. They got married back in November in Dubai at Magnolia in the Al Qasr, Madinat Jumeirah. What can I say … an amazing day was had by all, including me. It is lovely when I am made to feel like one of the guests, very special.

Beautiful couple, beautiful dresses, beautiful flowers, beautiful venue … FAB wedding.
